Well Brad (and anyone else who took interest in this thread) ... it's
suddenly fixed.  I was looking into it to get the details of what was
wrong and now they've suddenly fixed it.
I would be very happy except for the weeks that I spend arguing with
them that they refused to admit anything was wrong ... but maybe my
messages finally got through to someone who realized that I had a
valid complaint.
